A Glamorous Italian Narrative

Founded at the dawn of the swinging 60s by designer Valentino Garavani on Rome’s Via Condotti, the brand soon established itself as one of the world’s leading couturiers. The label’s full-length skirts rebelled against the trend of the mini, while the designer’s personal love affair with black, white and red lent collections drama and flair. Originally capitalising on the success of Frederico Fellini’s cinematic masterpiece La Dolce Vita and screen siren du jour Anita Ekberg, Valentino designed and produced apparel that would accentuate the female form.

Over the past half century, Valentino has become a symbol of luxury, elegance, power, creativity and taste, having left a mark on everyone from golden era screen queen Sophia Loren to Jackie Onassis. After earning the prestigious Neiman Marcus fashion prize and launching a plethora of sister labels, the design house continues to bask in the spotlight, dressing the likes of Anne Hathaway and Jennifer Lopez.

Art forms in their own right, Valentino’s handbags for women transmute style tradition, taking a classic silhouette and then putting a unique twist on it. Marvel at an edgy array of black studded bags, inspired by retro rock bands and biker chicks or admire the simple structure of a Valentino Garavani bag with its gorgeous plush quilting and gothic spike detailing.
